Notes
The
photographer
caught
these
visiting
women
looking
skeptically
at the
sculpture
Diana
of the
Chase
by
Anna
Hyatt
Huntington
. The
sculpture
was a
gift
to the
Museum
by the
artist
in
honor
of the
Museum's
10th
anniversary
in
1941
.
Huntington
was
well
known
for her
sculptures
of
animals
and
human
figures
,
often
small
bronze
sculptures
. The
artist
hoped
to
visit
the
Museum
on the
occasion
of the
anniversary
celebration
, but the
impact
of
World
War
II
made
gasoline
and
vehicle
maintenance
so
expensive
, she
canceled
her
trip
.
The
sculpture
of the
goddess
Diana
is
positioned
in the
Museum's
rotunda
,
looking
out
over
the
lake
. An
original
architect's
rendering
of the
building
reveals
that the
rotunda
was
envisioned
as the
home
of a
large
sculpture
from the
beginning
.
Because
of its
striking
pose
and
prominent
location
,
Diana
has
become
an
iconic
image
of the
Museum
,
often
appearing
on
publicity
material
. The
rotunda
that
houses
Diana
was
enclosed
in
1998
.
